New Zealand Bowling Checks Warwickshire VIVIAN VERY STEADY From the 8peci»l Correspondent of the

(Keceived 5, 11.0 a.m.) BIRMIN GH AM, Aug. 4. New Zealand's weakened attaek again achieved creditable success, Warwickshire being pinned down to a scoring rate so slow that the players were oiten ironically applauded. Wyatt's display was a typical one. The whole innings lasted almost four hours. It was a laboured effort with hardly any real attacking stroke. Weir bowled an excellent length with considerable life but had not the luck of Vivian, who, although his injured flngers were bound, was consistently steady. Moloney's length was good and his spin persistent. Lamason's length and direction was well controlled. Some of the fielding was brilliant. Wallace took two fine catches and was responsible for a smart run-out. Another run-out came from a quick return by. Carson. A spectacular catch was taken by Page in the slips, while Donnelly made brilliant saves' round the boundary. Tindall allowed only one bye. The faet that fewer than two riins an over were soered off Moloney and Yician aptly illustrates the attack constantly commanded respect. Birmingham had a half-holiday, and a crowd of about 8,000 witnessed the match. New Zealand batted for threequarters of nn hour in failing light. Details WARWICK First Innings.
